Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these on a PVCU soffit?

Yes, these blocks are fully compatible with modern PVCU fascias and soffits.

What is the minimum soffit depth required?

The blocks are designed for use with soffits of at least 40cm.

Does the product include mounting hardware?

The product includes a Larch timber footplate, but you will need to provide appropriate screws for your specific fascia material.

Can these be painted?

Yes, while they come pre-finished in white, they can be painted with exterior-grade paint if you wish to match a specific color scheme.

How should I space the blocks?

Standard spacing is 60cm centres, or you can place them in pairs at 120cm centres for a different aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Visible gaps between block and fascia

Ensure the Larch footplate is installed perfectly flush against the surface before attaching the main block.

Discoloration over time

Clean the surface with a non-abrasive household cleaner; if the white finish fades, a high-quality exterior-grade paint can be applied.

Block feels loose

Check that the fasteners holding the Larch footplate have not corroded or loosened due to wood expansion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for exterior environments
  • Compatible with both modern and traditional building materials
  • Includes necessary Larch timber footplate for mounting
  • Enhances property curb appeal and architectural value
  • Pre-finished white surface saves installation time

Cons

  • Requires a minimum soffit depth of 40cm
  • Not suitable for smaller buildings or narrow eaves
  • Precise spacing measurements required for aesthetic consistency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves securing the provided Larch timber footplate to your fascia or soffit framework using appropriate corrosion-resistant fasteners. Once the footplate is fixed, the dentil block can be mounted to complete the decorative profile. Ensure your soffit depth is at least 40cm to maintain proper proportions and avoid overhang issues. For maintenance, clean the surface periodically with a mild detergent and water to maintain the crisp white finish, and inspect the mounting points annually to ensure no moisture ingress has occurred behind the unit.
